The Board wants to hear from the members on how best to meet the challenges ahead of us. Topics for discussion and action will be: (1) How best to add some more fun & fellowship to monthly meetings and to think creatively about new events that have the potential of bringing in new members; (2) How to improve on our communications to existing members and how and under what circumstances should the club be reaching out to non-DCSRA registered democrats; and (3) Are we giving members enough opportunities to get to know candidates using the monthly meeting format or is there a better way to have more one-on-one contact with political candidates. Please come and bring your best ideas. For more information please contact Jim Woodbrey (520) 393-1310.
